Changes

In BaseX, all updates are performed on database nodes. Update operations thus never affect the original input file. You can, however, use the [[Commands#EXPORT|EXPORT]] command or the fn:put() function to create an updated XML file. If the [[Options|database option]] <code>WRITEBACK</code> [[Options|Option]] is activated, changes in your database are propagated back to the original input file. Make sure you back up your data in advance, as this approach modifies the underlying XML file.
